Roy Buchanan: News

In the '80s Roy Buchanan had a Guild deal going, I think it was called the Guild T200?

Roy was given one of those first run Fender 1952 RI's.
Roy did play it often and you can find pictures of him using the '80s '52 RI.

But it was the Fritz Bros' "Roy Buchanan Bluesmaster" that captured Roy's signature.

Roy Buchanan’s actual influence on guitar players was smaller than we all think and it’s always been mostly because of “what he did on the guitar” and “what he stood for” (the originator) than his actual 1953 Telecaster.

The number of guys who would actually want a cloned version of Roy Buchanan’s guitar is way too small to waste marketing dollars on.
The Nocaster’s are the best 1953 Clones, the '52 RI’s would be second best.

Two of Roy Buchanan's albums were released on Atlantic Records: "Loading Zone," and "You Are Not Alone." For awhile, you could only have a few tracks on cd on "Roy Buchanan; The Atlantic Sessions." Now, thanks to Wounded Bird Records, you can have it all! These two recordings show the full range of Roy's talents, and why PBS touted him as: "the greatest unknown guitarist!"
